Unable to post images on FreeRepublic using chrome browser, works fine with other browsers.
We have already cleared cache, turned off add blocker, and successfully posted image using other browsers.
Any solutions for chrome?
This is being posted with Brave.
Where is this library?
Where is the image you want to post located?
It must be an online image with a url address.
Then just copy the address and insert after <img src=
Then place a “greater than” symbol after the pasted url.
You don’t need quotation marks around the url.
To find the url of the image you can right click or option-click the image and “copy image address”
Clear Cookies, History and any other stuff like Autofill. Spray Lysol all over Your Machine and after that carefully Flash a Propane Torch over the Keyboard.
Take a Hammer and smack 2 Thumbs and 7 Fingers, use the one finger left CAREFULLY!!! That is because You Downloaded chrome Rust. Use the finger to Download and Install Brave.
Don't make Me stop this car or else.

in all honesty, being a programmer from yesteryear, this actully should fall on John here... I’f this was my code, I would have coding in place to handle all browsers renditions. just sayin...
...(applaud from the bleechers!...)
The issue could be with your quote marks. Curly quotes can sometimes mess up the code. I just upgraded my phone. Apparently it uses curly quotes but my older one didn’t. I can no longer post images from my phone. I have to use my computer to do it.
no I was just differentiating tags to link to an image instead of posting it.
You asked I thought how to link an image instead of posting it with the /img src=/ tab
I assume you are applauding my choice of pictures to post. 8>)
Yes. Disable chrome. Go back to Samsung browser. It’s quite easy. My new samsung s6 tablet came with chrome installed. I’m not exactly computer illiterate, but after weeks and weeks of trying to use its features, I just gave up. It took less than an hour to download the samsung browser from the google app store and get all my bookkmarks re-established the way I want them. Chrome is not my friend!
Yep have the same problem with my new phone.
Which image url should I choose? The first option didnt work, hmmm.
Hotlink?
Thanks ~
Use Firefox or Brave
I always use the Direct link: and don’t bother resizing. You can do that when you post by including width =nnn inside the tag.
thx
Thanks, McGruff!
Especially since I posted the question to myself, lol
It should work. What are the steps you use to post?
Is it a add on you have that may be blocking?

width=400 (or whatever number you think best), is the HTML code that is needed for that. It goes just inside the last “>” of the img code.
